Windows 10: Windows Update History doesn't show that I have Latest Defender Definition updates, but...

I usually use Windows Defender in the security section to update my definitions, but just noticed that Windows Update History isnt reccording it down like it used to before. The Microsoft Pages shows my definition version in the security section matches with theirs in terms of latest.

Is this a visual bug that I can safely ignore until Microsoft fixes it?

Edit: Updating it through Windows Update records it, but not when updating with Defender. Might be a visual synching bug? I dont know. But it confirms a bit it just might be a visual bug as I am still up to date for both ends.

Definition updates for Windows Defender no longer show up on history?

They are still showing up for me on my 'View your update history' page. Latest one was this morning.

I'm using Windows 10 Home Build 10240.

They no longer are listed under View your update history page.
All installed WD definitions go directly to Windows Defender.
If you open WD and click Update tab at the top, you'll see the latest definition listed as well as the date and time installed.

Oh okay, so I guess it isn't just me.

But is there a reason they changed this?

Also, am I right in thinking this was only changed recently? I remember quite well seeing Windows Defender updates on Windows Update history list. I am starting to think this was changed on Jan 12 patch Tuesday.
